11 days of one niche app on the market is also not a big timeframe to pass judgement on the Android Market as a whole. It takes time for apps to gain traction.

11 days of one niche app on the market is also not a big timeframe to pass judgement on the Android Market as a whole. It takes time for apps to gain traction. My app benefited greatly from exposure from a free version first, then adding the paid version later. The other problem with Android Market is that the methods for app discovery are a mystery. Search results aren't really sorted by rating or popularity, so it's hard to figure out how to get high standings. And as always, media promotion plays a major role in app purchases. Overall, I agree with most of the other comments. Simply putting an app on the market and watching the numbers is NOT a valid judge of the Android Market. There are infinitely more factors to take into account.
